NATIONAL PARKS ADVENTURE takes audiences on the ultimate off-trail adventure into America’s awe-inspiring great outdoors.

Enjoy a concise tour of the stars, constellations, and planets in the current sky. Take a tour of currently visible stars, constellations and planets, using the beautiful capabilities of the Planetarium's new full-dome projection system (to see the original 1968 Carl Zeiss star projector in action, enjoy our monthly Stars with Carl performances). See this show, then step outside to see the real sky.

Celebrate the season with a magical medley of GCV&M holiday happenings on a self-guided excursion through the museum’s wide-open spaces! Stroll the Historic Village bedecked in its holiday finery amid villagers bustling with preparations, and offering greetings to their neighbors and friends. Visit nine historic homes open for small group visits to explore the evolution of seasonal customs, and how those customs influence our communities today. Pickup ideas for your holiday table as you savor the intoxicating scents of holiday dishes. Delight in high Victorian decorating, hear about Hannukah and the lighting of the menorah, investigate the growing popularity of gift-giving, experience the anticipation of a holiday wedding, and more. Stop by Town Hall or Brooks Grove Church for an array of timed programming, including the cathartic strains of holiday music and dramatic readings of classic holiday tales.
